Until recently, podcasting was simple. Creators could provide the show free, take money in exchange for in-show sponsor reads, or set up a paid subscription program using a service like Memberful. But, last week, Apple added a new option: paid subscriptions, exclusive to Apple’s Podcasts app. Now, Spotify has added a similar option, only with way better terms for podcast creators. It looks like the gloves are coming off. “I see podcasting as one of the best innovations on the internet in the past decade,” podcaster Aaron Bossig told Lifewire via email....

However, what’s missing from the fitness-based video game landscape is that one hit game that satisfies both gamers and fitness fanatics. “When done well, I think fitness video games are fantastic.
